A Thrifty California Maid.

Miss Ellen Callchan Of California sold
last Saturday forty-siX head of beef cattle
at : pound This is the highest price
paid in the valley in two years for beet.
Miss Callehan received $2,3l2 - for her
cattle, and has Il band still growing.
some twelve or fifteen years ago her
brother died and left her two good rancho,
and Il band of cattle and horses. Since
then she has managed the ranches and

charity for stock, as often she has been
known 10 take the young calves, colts,
chickens and ducks into the kitchen 10
save them from the inclcmency of the

would make n good match in marriage for
a middle-aged man. with muscle cultivated

others need apply. Dudes would not, We
believe, be noticed as candidates for the
matrimonial hand of Miss Callchan. She
lives alone in her ga-lOry and appear, "a

especially when driving Il good pair of her
unbitablc horses, over which she holds tho

known 10 walk distance Of two miles al
a stretch without waking up. Miss Stark
was courtcd by young man from the
Third Ward, John Derby, likely fellow,
but for some reason he and the old folks
could not get along together. One night
recently, while John and Abigail were re-
turning from party, John proposed that
they should get married without further
delay. She asked Till the following even

his wife for witness, the knot was tied.
Abigail answered all questions properly,
and was apparently rs happy as John over

A LOng.Eelt Want.

Under the above appropriate
head the Chronicle says:
The best indication that the Com
stock is entering upon another era
of bust ness prosperity, is that ne
gotiations are now pending for the
lease OF Cooper's Hall ON North G.
street for go-as-you-please variety
theater, and of the lower floor of
the friedrich House, fronting on ID
street, for beer jerker and dance
house dive combined. The person
negotiating for Cooper's Hall is
said to be an agent of Ned Buckley,
of San Francisco. The hall is to be
fitted up as a beer concert saloon.
The nightly programme will include
song and dance acts, negro min
strelsy and comedy. Several stage
boxes will be constructed for the
accommodation of Comstock youths
to resort to between the acts, lured
thither by the seductive smiles of
the sirens in spangled tights, who
will personate the heroines in the
PLAYS produced.

WHO PILED TT UP?

Nearly two years ago the Alta
said that nothing could beat an adj
ministration that would by Novem-
Der, 1888, bring the interest-bear-
ing National debt down to the bill
ion line. That debt is now 81 ,049,-
$50, 1856. 1t has been reduced
since the 30th of last June $40. $780,
O35. That is at the rate of $10,-
159, zoos rer month. 1t is eleven
months to the time we fixed in
1888. At the present rate of de-
crease the debt, therefore, will not
merely fall to the billion line, but
about $50, 100000 below it. So
mote it be.-Alta.
Another little fact in connection
with the public debt seems to have
escaped Col. Irish's attention. He
fails to figure what short time il
took the democratic party TO pile
the debt up.

the following.
There was no issue of this paper
last week, owing to a series of un-
fortunate circumstances over which
we had no control. The editor-in-
chief was in California on important
business the compositor was sick
and in this locality it is hard to pro-
cure a printer on short notice; the
press was out of repair; at last, but
not least, the editors substitute was
not equal to the task of successfully
combating SO many misfortunes,
and so let things so by the run.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1887-11-09

Gen. Herbert, Of Alabama, OPP
poses the Government postal tele-
graph scheme on the ground that it
will give the Government too much
power, and give the party in power
too many Offices to fill. Does Gen.
Herbert not know that in the earlier
and ruder days of the Republic
private individuals handled the
mails until the Government took
controlf The Government has never
exercised an arbitrary power over
the mails. Jay Gould should dis
charge this man and hire = mouth
piece with more sense.
